Design and fabrication of an explosive compaction apparatus

Abstract

Explosive compaction is the dynamic processes that offer the prospect of producing the high temperatures necessary for decent local metallurgical bonding at the powder particle interfaces. The stronger the press, the stronger the material will be. This report is to produce an explosive compaction apparatus that can generate high power as well as heavy duty pressing. Boothroyad and Dewhurst system is an orderly strategy to boost the utilization of the assembling procedure in the outline of parts and to get efficient technique to amplify the utilization of segments in item outline. EMULEX is used as an explosive material and use in the small ratio with detonation velocity of 4500 - 5400 m/s. AUTODYN software is choose for the simulation process. While, the LVDT deflection sensor that offers high reliability and long life is selected to determine the high pressure from blast test.
